When we moved down here in 1968, my family laughed at us because we locked our doors and even our cars on our own carports. Now they think we were prescient. <br /><br />I can&#39;t help thinking that unless you count gator attacks and snake bites, Manhattan is still more dangerous than Tampa. We have a lot of crime and some of it has gotten pretty gruesome, but we have way to go before we rival New York City in that department.cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-72908322833368277182017-06-27T18:35:39.102-05:002017-06-27T18:35:39.102-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-68502853747239908012017-06-21T16:23:45.117-05:002017-06-21T16:23:45.117-05:00My walking stick...an un-concealed weapon! :)My walking stick...an un-concealed weapon! :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-88418374782573505822017-06-21T06:21:06.905-05:002017-06-21T06:21:06.905-05:00I watch too many detective shows.

I was running into a shop to return something quickly and she stayed in the car with the motor running and the windows rolled down. &quot;Don&#39;t you need to lock the doors and roll the windows up?&quot; I asked. She laughed and shook her head, saying I had lived in the city too long. <br /><br />I don&#39;t really feel that safe in Atlanta, but I take steps to be careful.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-57008474591268296252017-06-21T04:03:01.365-05:002017-06-21T04:03:01.365-05:00I never hard a thought about not being safe.

That included a series of deadbolts, locked doors at all times, a healthy vigilance, etc. <br /><br />We moved to Florida in 1968 and our Florida relatives joked about us locking our cars under our own carport. We&#39;ve just never felt the kind of safety that the more rural places felt in the old days. It&#39;s always been a part of my life. cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-22550168936153751132017-06-20T07:57:38.083-05:002017-06-20T07:57:38.083-05:00It is a terrible kind of fear because I grew up wi...It is a terrible kind of fear because I grew up without fear. We left doors unlocked and slept with windows open. I will never forget when my dad came home in a terrible sad state because he had to lock the church for the first time in his many years as a preacher.
